UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.2x] Calendar 2.0 [ Finished ]

any word on the birthday cards?

guvner, try to find: foreach my $file (qw(.

Allen, I'll start only after I'll get a bday card example

I'm sending it to the birthday kid, not to people that want a notification...

ok
but then what do I do if I would like a notification ?

So... hmm... create an addon for calendar hack

Thanks LK,

No luck with that string but I did find:

foreach my $file (qw(wordlets_mods display misc

and added calender_wordlets along side "wordlets_mods " after which I applied the remainder of the hack to cp.cgi.

Sadly multihack came back with the same analysis:

error: requires vars_wordlets_calender.cgi in cp.cgi.

I'm pretty new to this, is there a way that someone could take a look at my files and help figure out how to apply the hack?

Again any help - greatly appreciated.

wordlets_calendar, not calendar_wordlets

After you add that, you can use MultiHack except that file.

[edit: oh, and don't forget that calendar is spelled: C-A-L-E-N-D-A-R ]

Thanks LK,

jeez I'm geting old !! and obviously clueless!!

All fixed . . .

and i thort mi spelin woz gud

Ok looks like the final hurdle - everything seems fine, calendar's up - looks great - but no birthdays being picked up automatically.

what I've done:

1. manually updated every profile through cp
2. cleared cache (x 100)

No joy - but, when I logged into "my profile" and updated (just me) from there - my birthday appeared on the calendar.

thanks

Is it likely that I have to:

a. ask every member to do the same or,
b. log into every "my profile" (pw hack installed) and update one at a time from there, or am I missing something else?

It's not updated from the CP - you couldn't even SEE the birthdays in 6.1-

I guess I'll update it in the next version....

Hey LK I just installed the hack and it works great, I love it. The only thing I can't get working is the mini calendar that you can put on your site. I've got the text line working no problem but for some reason I can't get the calendar to show. I'll I get is this error message:
[an error occurred while processing this directive]

Any ideas what might be wrong?
here is a link to my test page

guvner, I forgot to say that I updated it yesterday, rehack cp_users.cgi

Acadin, what did you put there?

Sorry LK - re-did the cp_users.cgi, cleared cache but still nothing??

I'm having fun getting this and UBBnews up and running - aaahhhh the fun of it all

Here\'s my board , as you can see it all looks ok but no update option seems available through cp (tried updating a few individual's thru members/view-edit member records - same result)

We've only been going 10 days but of the 45 members, 25 have nominated "show birthdays" (for what it's worth) but non are getting picked up.

What have I missed?

Thanks for your patience

When you hacked cp_users.cgi, were there 2 steps or only 1? If only 1, download the ZIP again.

LK ...

take a look if u edit calendar events include url tags, like profil-birthday-links or topic-event-links ...

there u become html code inside.

u understand if u have HTML code OFF in cp ...

-----------------------------------------------

and graemlins are not possible. the img link is:


!!! and we need:

du u understand ?

Melder, I had that problem too (of HTML breaking). When I installed a fresh 6.2.1.1, and rehacked with the current calendar hack, the problem went away. Seems like something's really fragile there, but it does show that it's not a problem with the hack. Not really sure.

I've been looking over these posts and I'm curious...do the birthdays automatically update themselves now? I had to do the same thing as guvner - manually edit EVERY member profile myself to get the birthdays to appear on the calendar. (And I have over 280 members). I did make a post about this not too long ago - is there something in the control panel now that puts the birthdays on the calendar automatically? That wasn't made clear to me.

You can edit it in the CP now.

Where in the control panel does that take place? (Sorry for seeming so ignorant - I just made the udpated change to the cp_users.cgi, but I don't see any new fields in the CP itself).

For the calendar I've tried to add the full url to the script and I've taken out the = and put in a _ to see if that was a typo(no I don't know what I'm doing lol)
